Forbidden Fruit

Like Eve, in innocence and naivete

I believed it would be easy.

Right and wrong

Black and white

So simple to see the truth.

Then along you came

And like a serpent, twined around my mind.

Introducing shades of grey

Betwixt my clear cut lines.

Accepting the hand you offered

On the behalf of fate.

Like a good girl I followed

To a place I should never have been.

There it beckoned before my eyes

In glistening, glimmering glory.

Tentatively I touched it

Seduced by such an offering

I plucked it and of it ate.

And now I shall always wonder

How such a generous gift

Could be called a Forbidden Fruit.

Author's Note: Take this poem however you like but I'm not sure if anyone will actually understand the real meaning it has when I wrote it. It's not actually meant to be religious though some of the wording may suggest so. If you want to know why I wrote it, leave your email, or email me or whatever.
